I hope all is truly well for you now. And I'm sure that this episode has enhanced your passion for life. And Joy...thanks for your thoughts. As a mom, you surely know how hard it is to keep all the kids and yourself healthy at the same time (particularly in the winter time). Deb, thank you for sharing your experience.

It is so true that we appreciate something after we have experienced its opposite. I find your post resonates in a deeply personal way for me. A week ago my dermatologist told me that a small mole she had removed is pre-cancerous. She went ahead and took out a chuck of surrounding skin, standard treatment for melanoma. In my head I know I'll be okay. But the rest of me is feeling fragile. And with that sense of fragility comes a heightened awareness of all that really matters to me. In my case, that is the "gift." May we all be blessed with glorious health! Chris – maybe you ought to title your post – “The light side to dark times,” based on reader comments who’d prefer not to get sick!

So sorry it happened during your holidays away...but, so glad you're on the mend. I hope your New Year was a lot better. Health and happiness to you and your family in 2006.

I can't think of much that's worse than being sick while away from home...I was sick while working an association conference in Boston in rainy November and I was feeling, as you eloquently put it, like death on a cracker. So, feel better my crabby friend. Good health to all in the New Year. Jeff, hope you got sick after vacation rather than during.

But you're absolutely right that the experience of feeling only slightly better than death on a cracker this week will deepen my appreciation when I feel better next week. Thanks for challenging even the industrial-strength crabby among us to find the silver lining. Happy New Year to you!
